I've been having a craving for a Jasmine milk tea for a few days and spotted Snow Boba at 6029 Snell, San Jose, while I was waiting for a while roast duck to bake next door at the Hing Kee Dimsum & BBaq, 6033 Snell, San Jose. You definitely need to get your milk tea cravings here if you're located in the area. It's over the road bridge from Blossom Hill on Snell. The Snow Boba offers my favorite Marianne's ice cream, in wonderful flavors that you wouldn't find anywhere else. This beats going up to Santa Cruz to get your Marianne's ice cream fix! There is plenty of parking and the boba staff are nice and friendly. I will definitely need to come here when I am craving a milk tea. read more

Stoped by for the first time today to try their tea and sugar cane drink. The owner was so friendly and we shared a nice conversation. She even gave me a sample of their ice cream. It was delicious. You have to place your order at one of the kiosk. I ordered the grapefruit tea with zero sweetness and the passion fruit sugar cane drink. The sugar cane drink was super sweet and tasty. The grapefruit tea didn't taste like grapefruit but more like strong black tea. That may because I didn't want the extra sweetness. Next time I'll have them add more flavor. I took my order to go but there are seating options inside if you want to have your drink there. Looking forward to having ice cream the next time I'm there. read more

@ Santa Teresa Square 6029 Snell Ave San Jose, CA 95123 Quick and nice service, and good ice cream at Snow Boba! I was here on a warm day seeking cold relief. I decided to try the Marianne's Ice cream. I actually never heard of this brand of ice cream before. So I tried a scoop of Rainbow Sherbet and a scoop of Coffee. A "scoop" is actually 2 small scoops stuffed in a small paper cup. The ice cream is very good. It's creamy, not too sweet, and doesn't melt too quickly in your mouth. Ice cream is a "feel good" food. On a warm day, it cools you off and provides a soothing feeling. Next time I'm in the area, I will return to try the drinks. free parking in shopping center lot. read more

I tried the ice cream here and it was extremely disappointing. I can't speak for their boba drinks but I would strongly recommend staying away from the ice cream. I tried every flavor and unfortunately none of them tasted good. And I'm not just talking about the flavors, their ice cream tasted stale and very low quality. Running a business comes with responsibility. If you're going to offer a product, it should be made with care and quality. read more

Service is fast! Differentiated offering is sugar cane juice ! Which is a healthy hit back from home. No corn syrup needed. Here it is available with additional fresh fruit flavors . Passion fruit sugar cane juice! The teas are a little watered down though. Boba is nice and soft . There is a tv with music playing and limited seating. read more

The Strawberry Mile Tea with Boba was delicious and also the Peanut Butter Ice Cream. Loved the Food! Service was great. Cindy the owner came out with a smile on her face and helped me choose what I should get since I was indecisive. Loved the ambience as well. Give this place a shot and you won't be disappointed! Thank you Cindy! Matt with Rodent RoundUp! read more

Snow Boba - Strawberry MilK Tea with Boba and Peanut Butter Ice Cream - Bubble Tea Near Me - San Jose, California

Snow Boba is a classic in this area as it's located near Santa Teresa High School! Right after school, this plaza can get busy with students going in and out. The milk teas are on the sweeter side and don't particularly stand out to me as it lacks tea flavor when I adjust the sweetness level. I would recommend getting sugarcane juice, specifically the kumquat sugarcane juice, because not many boba shops offer it and it's good for the price. It's also cool to see the staff make the sugarcane juice right in front of you with a machine so you know the drink is fresh and made to order. Service is chill as you mainly order on a kiosk. The lady working there is extremely kind and friendly, making sure drinks come out fast while the shop is spacious. This place is worth a try if you're visiting the area. read more

I ordered the lychee sugarcane with boba. It's $7 for the drink, and $.50 for Honey Boba. Total after tax, came out to $8.20. Cost is pretty fair for sugarcane when compared to other spots that offer it! And there really aren't too many places that have sugarcane juice, so I'm stoked that snow boba does. The drink itself was so delicious and refreshing! Especially on a hot spring day. The lychee flavor really comes through in the drink too. I was impressed with the quality of the boba as well! It's so soft and seems freshly made! I'll definitely be back! read more

I would 100% recommend this place, good boba and great service. The lady who helped us was fast in making the drinks while also providing good service. I recommend trying this place. Heaven milkshake is like peanut butter with chocolate but not overwhelming. Great taste. Strawberry Milk tea is great as well, perfect amount of sweetness. read more

The owner is so adorable. Come support this small business! There's MARIANNES ICE CREAM!!? and nuoc mia/sugarcane juice freshly made!!!! Ordered: (4.5/5) Lychee Tea w boba: I'm not a big fan of the lychee flavor, but yompz partner loved it and it was refreshing. So recommended if you like lychee! (5/5) Marianne's Ice cream: Love that they have marianne's ice cream. If they had green tea and coffee flavor, the whole tub would be gone for sure! 1020 was good too tho. You could order at the kiosk or at the cashier! Owner was a boba connoisseur and told me how she makes the perfect boba and how other stores don't make it as good LOL I cant disagree tho bc the boba was really good! Im not even a topping person but I tried it anyway and I liked it :) Would definitely try other ice cream flavors and the sugar cane drink :) Hard to find in this area so I'll be back to support. read more

We stopped by Snow Boba today, which has been open for only a few weeks. There are a variety of drinks here. Looking at the ordering system, we were a bit confused with the limited options for sweetness. It will be nice to select 50% or 30% for less sweet in the future. Currently, the only less sweet option is 80%. I decided to go with the green guava tea with less sweet. The drinks were made fairly quickly. The green guava tea was refreshing, but it was bit too sweet for me. I also tried the black milk tea, which was just ok. It was missing something flavor wise, so I probably won't order that again. The milk tea was lacking tea flavor. Overall, service was really nice and friendly here. read more

The whole family enjoyed the drinks. Very easy to order with the digital kiosk. Will definitely come back soon.

Love that this local ice cream and boba place is revamped. The interior is open and clean. You order directly at one of two kiosks and then can sit either inside or outside. We got Thai tea honey boba and the grapefruit tea with lychee jelly. Both were huge cups for the price and when you choose less sweet it really is less sweet but somehow still just as flavorful. Both were delicious and would order again. The ice cream is Marianne's from Santa Cruz so yum and they sizing is generous as well. The owners are super duper nice. Please support! read more

Fresh pressed sugarcane (nước mía)! I actually had no idea they sold it here. I just happened to be in the shopping center and needing something to drink. I'm happy I can get some without having to adventure into Vietnam Town or down Tully Road. I recommend kumquat sugarcane (mía tắc), the light sourness of the kumquat goes great with the natural sweetness of the sugarcane. Very refreshing on a hot day! read more

Have been coming here for the fresh squeezed cane juice with kumquat and it is my favorite drink! Very healthy, tasty and refreshing. I sometimes add aloe jelly which is also healthy and delicious.

The owner (lady) was the first to introduce Kumquat Sugarcane to me and my husband. Eventually became a habit of going here and getting our drinks while we wait for our kids. You order on their ipad and pay through the front. 2 kumquat sugarcane cost about $13 plus. They also have different bobas and Marianne's icecream which is really good. Plenty of tables and chairs. Owners are very nice. You can tell they value customers. read more

I am a big fan of the milk tea and honey boba here. The tea is delicious and the boba is a perfect marriage of soft and chewy. It's so addicting. When you enter the shop, you're automatically greeted by a bright warm smile by Cindy, the owner. Recently I had the pleasure of chatting with her. She shared her deep passion to bring high quality tea and boba to her customers and to set Snow Boba aside from the competition. She develops all the wonderful drink combinations in-house and is constantly brewing up new concoctions. She makes her own boba from scratch too. When you look at the business, it is not only a woman-owned but it's also a family affair. Cindy carefully sources her the tea leaves from her family's tea farm in VietNam. She is meticulous and thoughtful in the entire process and all the positive reviews are a reflection of these efforts. I keep coming back again and again... read more

Went in hoping to get delicious boba. Came out disappointed. Extremely overrated. Half of the store was used as a storage unit. Appliances and windows on ice cream display case were grimy. Shaker and pitchers used to mix the teas were disgusting. Toppings they probably use on ice cream were filthy. Even the stand and napkin dispensers were gross. Wished I would've checked the place out more before ordering, otherwise I would've never got anything from this nauseating spot. The drinks themselves were below par. Coconut shake had no flavor to it. Tasted like milk with tapioca. No coconut whatsoever. Brown sugar milk tea was mediocre. Asked for extra sweet, did not get that. Tasted like plain milk and brownsugar. $14.22 for both drinks. Only thing this place had going was the texture of the honey tapioca. Plenty of other places to get boba in San José, but this one. Would NOT return. read more

Even though you order on the tablets, you pay with an employee at the counter. I got the soursop sugarcane drink which was good, the soursop wasn't too strong. The matcha and honeydew were alright drinks. The strawberry milk tea was very underwhelming, it tasted like a berry tea bag that was just steeped. The kumquat and soursop sugarcane drinks were definitely the winners. The boba itself was good and the staff was very friendly. read more

Snow Boba opened where Snow's Creamery used to be in the Nob Hill shopping center on Snell Avenue. It is on the smaller side but bright and clean, and they have iPads for ordering and paying. (Note: They do not accept cash.) They sell boba drinks and ice cream. I tried a classic milk tea with boba, and it was delicious and refreshing. I look forward to trying more flavors on my next visit... read more

I can see why this place is rated very highly Bro and I have been here five times in the past year and the owner is super nice first time around let us sample some of the ice cream flavors maybe pricey but simply delicious. Snow Boba is located on Snell Avenue right off Blossom Valley at the Nob Hill Shopping Center ample parking with several restaurants, nail salon, liquor store and of course there's Starbucks for those early risers.. Bro and I came by this afternoon placed our orders using one of two self serving kiosk machines or go on line whichever is more convenience and by the way they don't accept cash payable by credit/debit card only. I chose the passion fruit regular ice less and Bro had the grapefruit tea regular ice less sweetness both were price at $5 each regular size far cheaper than its competitors. Definitely on my list their drinks are so refreshing even with less sweetness. read more

Amazing Boba one of my favorites in San Jose Staff is very friendly never have a problem ordering everything taste fresh read more

A great find! Ordered two drinks and a cup of ice cream. Got the green guava tea which was very refreshing and light, not overly sweet. Also got the thai milk tea. Both drinks had really good boba and tasted great!! For the ice cream, they serve Marianne's so they had a good selection of flavors. Got 1020 and strawberry cheesecake, and it was delicious. Overall good selection of drinks and ice cream. Also loved the service. Staff were very kind and friendly. Indoor seating was allowed and so we were able to spend some time to chill before going. Sounds like they will be adding new flavors to the menu soon which is exciting. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Snow Boba is located in the Santa Teresa Square with some parking, it was semi busy when I went, but I found parking fairly easily. The exterior kind of blends in the plaza, but the interior is more bright and slightly modern. The ordering process was a bit strange, you order through the kiosk, then pay at the counter with the employees instead of one smooth transaction. I ordered the jasmine milk tea with boba. The milk tea was a bit grainy and watery - it did not have a good creaminess nor a good floral tea taste to it. I really wished I enjoyed the drink, the spot seemed like a chill spot and the employee was friendly as well. read more

Owners are so sweet, the kumquat sugarcane juice was phenomenal. They also sell milk teas and Marianne's ice cream (yum!!) , they have it all! Will definitely be returning to try out their other drinks. read more

Me and my girlfriend tried this place out. We both love boba and have been to many boba places. This place is very good. They do not have the smoothie drinks, but I got a milk tea and my girlfriend got a sugar cane tea and they were both delicious.
